Elimination match
Soon he entered the stadium and his sight cleared to see what was around him.
Many people of various powers appeared on the stadium one after the other, he even saw people he was familiar with and he met up with Red and Purple, after he was sure that their clones were ok.
"Alright not work together for this one" Josh said after some thought.
"Hun? why?" asked Purple.
"Just a hunch, and also because if we work together we will be targeted by every body and that may force us to eliminate everyone! I also know that Carmin and team chaos won't be working together For this specific reason".
"Ok.. with this we will be able to share the burden of the team work of others and the risks of getting eliminated will be low." Red added.
"Alright let's still try to watch each others back" Purple added.
"All contestant is now In the field so we shall begin when the signal is given" said Philip.
"The elimination match shall begin in three.... two.... one!!!"
"Start!!!"
Linda shouted as a loud noise rang out signalling the start of the match.
This sent the participants into a frenzy as they all lunged at each other.
Some were in groups while others were solo, there was no terrain only flat ground as far as the eye could see.
Those who were in groups where mostly the weaker fighters, those who can't perform alone and those who aren't from well off or affluent families.
The solo guys were quite the opposite.
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Various attacks were launched here and there as the field lit up, the sound of metal against metal constantly rang out.
"Well let's join in on the fun!!" Josh said as he rushed out.
"Hey I've got a mission for u?" a voice sounded taking him by surprise.
"What is the mission, Spirit?" He asked as he ran towards some people.
"Take a look!!!"
[MISSION: eliminate 50 people ]
[REWARDS:???]
[PENALTY: punishment in the all realm]
[SPECIAL CONDITIONS: You must not use any art and skills]
[NOTE: this mission is progressive]
"Hun, progressive? What does that mean?" Josh asked.
"It means that after this 50, you will still have to eliminate more and more depending on the number I give you..." Spirit said.
"Ok, but this special condition and penalty, isn't it too much!!!" he said.
"Nope, let's see how you survive this, and just in case, I've already sealed your skills and arts" Spirit said with a smile.
"Tch, I'll show you just how frightening I can be!!!" Josh said as he brought out a rod and rushed towards the teams!
Bang!!!
[Eliminated 10]
Boom!!!
[Eliminated 23]
He attacked everyone around him without using any skill or arts just pure techniques soon he was able to complete the mission.
"Mmm, this seems too easy for you even if I put it to 100 you'd still be able to complete it on time" Spirit said with a little bit of dissatisfaction.
"Hehehe I'm very strong u know" he bragged to Spirit.
"Luckily I have a solution for that" to his dismay Spirit said the words he didn't want to here.
"I'll update the the progressive mission"
MISSION: eliminate 500 people ]
[REWARDS:???]
[PENALTY: punishment in the all realm]
"Good luck" Spirit encouraged with a mischievous smile
"..."
He was just speechless at this guy's shamelessness.
Nevertheless, this didn't discourage him as he tightened the grip on his rod, flexed his muscles as he bent down a little and shot forward shouting.."Now that is a mission!!!"
He arrived at his first victim as he swept his rod at them but the three were alert and managed to dodge in the nick of time but still another sweep threw them off balance as the third strikes smashed them to the ground.
They didn't even have time to react!
He didn't stop there as he ran towards another prey.
Bang!
Bang!
Boom!
He met some resistance but they were still not enough to stop him.
"Hump, worthless shadow it is I Reynold who will defeat you!!!"
Someone shouted as he rushed at him with a lot of energy and vigor. People sensed his strength and thought.
'Maybe he might just pressure Shadow'
But it seems as if they got their hopes up too much as he received a rod to his face.
Making their hopes shatter like glass and hurting as the swell on Reynold's face.
"Hump" a snort sounded as Josh hurriedly tilted his head to the side and an arrow passed the position his head was previously.
Bang!
'Shit!! that was close' Josh said as he hurriedly left that place while looking around with profound alertness.
Xiu!
Xiu!
Xiu!
Many arrows suddenly shot out, with their numbers and speed he wasn't able to see the position they came from, therefore rendering him unable to lock into the position of his assaulter.
'Damn it, I can't let this go on for long' as he thought, his team seemed to understand him and gave him some signals.
"Got it" he nodded as he stored his rod and summoned his bow and a quiver of arrows.
Xiu!
An arrow was shot at him, but this one was different. It carried an aura of unpredictability, around it as it closed in on the now still Josh.
Twang!
Xiu!
Josh nocked and shot out his own arrow at this time.
"Hump, I expected more from you shadow, but it seems my expectations were too much"
His assaulter who was watching from his hiding spot, snorted in disappointment as he looked as the arrow shot by Josh in disdain.
But the then Josh arrow suddenly changed behaviors as it collided simply with his arrow.
"!!!"
Only him could understand what was going on as he hurriedly shifted his position.
Bang!!!
An arrow landed neatly beside him.
'Shit!, just a second last and it would have been my last' he thought.
'But to be able to read my arrow.... wonderful...Wonderful!!!'
He thought as he stood up.
"Shadow I am Flint Good luck, you have surprised me with your skills handling the bow so therefore it would be an honor to eliminate you!!!" Flint said with a heroic pose.
Josh just saw an handsome blond guy start speaking cosplay language with him so he said
"who is this weird guy?"
"..."
Flint was speechless at first but he shook his head and said "prepare to be eliminated!!!"
He then drew his bow,
"I am Flint Good luck, my family majors in the bow and I am a prodigy among prodigies, I painstakingly trained and trampled on many other bow prodigies..., non able to suppress me, but I still seek a worthy opponent... for where is joy in this world without any ..... cough....cough...cough... challenges"
'He chocked on his spit!' Josh said in his head as he stared at Flint
"..."
"Any way...cough..." Flint cleared his throat and continued "Shadow, son of the dark.... receive my arrow!!!"
Twang!
